Jia Yujing of Red Mansion

Chapter 174 Yun Guang is arrested and Jia She takes over the job

While Jia Qiong and others were visiting Qingyun Temple, Emperor Longqing's purge plan also began.

Beizhen Fusi began to arrest officials involved in the case on a large scale. All those who had contact with Sun Dexia were subject to investigation by Jin Yiwei.

A group of officials and generals who had helped Sun Dexia smuggle were dismissed one after another, and many were punished for inadvertently leaking court secrets.

Because many officials were involved, the situation suddenly became turbulent.

Yun Guang, the commander of the remaining division in Shenjing, was also arrested and imprisoned by Jin Yiwei because his nephew had a connection with Sun Dexia, pending the results of the investigation.

Yun Guang's family was very worried, so they went to Jia She, hoping that he could help Yun Guang escape the crime, and promised him 2 taels of silver for this purpose.

Jia She is a man who loves money. Naturally, he wants to earn such a large sum of money.

However, the person in charge of the investigation was Ji Hongzhang, the commander of the Jinyiwei, and he had no friendship with him.

If he goes to beg for mercy and give gifts, people may not buy it.

After thinking about it, Jia Qiong is the only one who often interacts with Jin Yiwei and can probably talk to him.

So Jia She went to Jia Lian and told him, "Yun Guang was captured by the Jinyi Guards because his nephew colluded with Wala.

He is an elder in our family, and I can't just sit back and watch.

Go to Qingyun Temple and tell Brother Qiong to find a way to communicate with Jin Yiwei.

As long as Yun Guang can be rescued, a thank you gift from him is indispensable. "

Jia Lian hesitated and said: "A few days ago, someone asked Sister Feng to inquire about this matter, but Jia Qiong stopped her before she finished speaking.

I'm afraid I'm even more reluctant to get involved in recruiting people from outside. "

Jia She sneered and said, "You two, with red mouth and white teeth, tell me how he is willing to agree.

You tell him that Yun Guang promised to give him 3000 taels of silver, and that he will give it all to him when the deal is completed. I don’t want a penny. "

Jia Lian accepted the task and took two boys with him, under the bright sun, to find the boundary of Qingyun Temple.

Jia Lian was so hot that he was covered in sweat. As soon as he entered the mountain, he immediately felt much cooler.

When I arrived at the courtyard by the lake, I saw several small boats appearing and disappearing among the lotus leaves and reeds in the lake.

By the lake, Ping'er, Xiren, Zicuckoo, Ying'er, playing chess, serving as a bookkeeper, and several maids in the painting are playing in the water, and from time to time there is a string of laughter like silver bells.

Jia Lian wiped the sweat from his forehead and shouted: "You guys are happy and happy, let me find you easily."

Ping'er turned around when he heard the sound and saw Jia Lian coming on horseback. He hurriedly asked: "Second Master, why are you here? Do you have something to do with grandma?"

Seeing this, several other maids also tidied up their appearance to pay tribute.

Jia Lian said: "I'm here to pay my respects to my ancestors, and I want to talk to Brother Qiong on the way."

Ping'er said: "The ancestors are playing cards in the courtyard. Uncle Qiong, Uncle Xue and a few friends have taken Second Master Bao and the others out for hunting. I don't know when they will be back."

Jia Lian said: "Then you make me some tea first. The weather is too hot. I almost died of thirst along the way."

Ping'er led Jia Lian into the courtyard and asked, "Why did the second master come so early in the afternoon and not wait until it cools down later?"

"How dare I delay the errand assigned by the lord? Who is brother Qiong going out with?"

Ping'er thought for a while and said, "There are uncles from the Xue family, uncles from the Feng family, and a young man named Liu."

Jia Lian suddenly smiled and said, "It turns out it's them. Do you know where they went?"

"I don't know. It should be in the nearby woods. The old lady won't let them go far."

Ping'er said that Jia Qiong and others would not go far, but he did not know that they had crossed two mountains and arrived at the edge of the Qinling hinterland.

Some time ago, Jia Qiong met Feng Ziying and others at Xue Pan's birthday party.

He has always wanted to find opportunities to have more contact with the two of them, but there has never been a suitable opportunity.

This time he happened to have free time, so he left a message to Feng Ziying and Liu Xianglian, inviting them to go hunting near Qingyun Temple.

The two of them made an appointment to come together today. Xue Pan knew about it and followed him.

Jia Qiong took Jia Baoyu and the three of them out to hunt together, even though Jia's mother told them not to go into the mountains.

However, Jia Qiong and the others still climbed two mountains in order to track a leopard.

The leopard was currently being carried on Chi Yan's back. It was shot in the back of the head by Jia Qiong and killed.

The terrain in the mountains is complex, and in many places you can only walk with horses. The mountain roads are rugged and difficult to navigate, and there are dense weeds.

When did Xue Pan, Jia Baoyu, Jia Huan, and Jia Lan have to endure such hardship?

When they reached an open valley, several people were already exhausted.Xue Pan was fat and had the weakest physical strength. His legs gave out and he lay down directly on the grass.

He shouted feebly: "I can't do it anymore. Even if you beat me to death, I can't walk anymore."

The three Jia Baoyu also followed suit and sat down on the ground.

Several people's bodies are now covered with grass clippings and mud marks, and they have completely lost their image of young masters.

Jia Qiong looked around and found a small stream winding through the valley.

So he said: "There happens to be a creek over there. Let's go over there, camp, rest, and bake something to eat.

Let's not go deep, let's rest for a while and then go back. "

After Jia Qiong finished speaking, he picked up Xue Pan, and Feng Ziying and Liu Xianglian planned to help Baoyu and the others over as well.

Jia Qiong stopped him and said, "Brother Feng, Brother Liu, let them go there by themselves. How can the Jia family be so weak if they rely on martial arts."

Feng Ziying and Liu Xianglian looked at each other, smiled at each other and left first.

Jia Qiong said: "You three can go there by yourself after you have rested, otherwise you won't have anything to eat."

Jia Baoyu and Jia Huan nodded feebly, and Jia Lan said, "Yes, Uncle Qiong, I can walk by myself."

After saying that, he struggled to get up, but couldn't stand firmly and sat down again.

Xue Pan said with some embarrassment: "Brother Qiong, how about I leave by myself."

"That's fine. You guys can rest here for a while before going over. Tian Li, you guard them."

"Yes, Second Master."

Jia Qiong and the others came to the creek, found an open space, put down the prey on the backs of several horses, and let the horses graze on their own.

They caught a lot of prey. In addition to the leopard, there were also golden pheasants, hares, wild sheep, and deer.

Jia Qiong said: "Brother Feng, Brother Liu, you gather some firewood and light the fire. I will take out the sheep and we will roast it."

Feng Ziying said curiously: "I didn't expect that Brother Yujing is not only a marksman, but also a cook."

Jia Qiong said with a smile: "I ate mutton for almost a month in the Hetao Grassland. Can I still slaughter the sheep?"

Liu Xianglian praised: "His literary fame is spread all over the world, and his martial arts define the frontiers. Brother Yujing is truly a hero!"

Jia Qiong said: "Okay, okay, stop flattering me and go collect firewood. My stomach is pounding."

Jia Qiong carried the wild sheep to the creek, quickly skinned it, removed its internal organs, and washed it clean.

Feng Ziying and the others had already lit a fire and set up a simple barbecue grill.

Jia Qiong put the lamb on and began to apply the prepared seasoning to the lamb.

Within a quarter of an hour, the mutton was already sizzling with oil and exuding a tantalizing aroma.

Jia Baoyu, who was still lying in the distance, smelled the fragrance, and instantly became thirsty.

With endless motivation in his body, he quickly came to the fire and sat down in a row.

Xue Pan took a deep breath and said: "The taste is amazing, even the roasted mutton in Taibailou can't compare to it."

Jia Qiong smiled and said: "Now I give you a steamed cake, and you can taste the taste of dragon meat."

Jia Huan licked his lips and asked, "Brother Qiong, can I eat it now?"

Jia Qiong handed him the knife in his hand and said, "Cut the meat and have a look. If there is no blood, you can eat it."

Jia Huan grinned happily and took the knife, pulled it out and slashed the sheep's thigh.

"It seems not ripe yet."

"Then wait."

At this time Feng Ziying said: "Yu Jing, your archery skills are superb, I am willing to be inferior.

Erlang has been fond of martial arts since he was a child, so he is good at swordsmanship. It's boring for us to wait, why don't you try it out too. "

Xue Pan applauded: "What a great idea. Let us open our eyes quickly."

Jia Qiong smiled and said, "Okay, I happen to have itchy hands. What do you think, Brother Liu?"

Liu Xianglian smiled happily and said, "Then let's compete."
